coolant leaks only when car is off?

ok so my car over heated the other day, filled it up with some water and took her home. next day inspected around the water pump no signs of coolant crust around water pump. car is not leaking anymore, took off rad cap put the heater to hot and topped it off. watched the gauge go up to the middle and drove the car for a good 10 miles. parked the car looked under and nothing is leaking. no signs of over heating while i drove it. but when i shut the car off i see coolant/water dripping??? and no i did not have the AC on either.

i havnt had a chance to look under the car but when i searched i found a mixture of answers...hoses cracked, dead waterpump etc.

ive changed the waterpump before on my old 240 but im a little lost as to why it only leaks when i shut off the car.

any advice i should know????
